The Harem Rejects

As far back as Grant could remember, he hated being touched. It was the only thing she’d left him before walking away forever. A fear he carried into his final semester of high school, convinced nothing would ever change. Then Grant’s procrastination caught up with him. It was either join a club or repeat the year. Luckily, his eccentric English teacher had just started a new one. With no members besides him, it seemed like the perfect solution. Until Luke’s former admirers started joining. At first, none of them want anything to do with each other or each other’s problems, but being stuck together in the club room makes that difficult. They slowly learn to turn to one another for help, and as their friendships grow, so do feelings none of them quite know how to handle. For once, Grant has people he needs to let in. The only issue? He spent his whole life keeping people away.
